Brave call, leaving the doors of the defender open when moving cow to new grass😂😅 I was waiting to the door follow the hip of a cow 🙈

I’ve wrapped bales in same situation and had zero issue

If the plane is doing that quite often, they could be student pilots learning how to recover from an engine stall and recovery

@ianfaulkner4398 Ай бұрын

You could build a good size silage clamp where you a stacking the round bales.

@lescampbell6745 Ай бұрын

It's private pilots doing training exercises out of Perth Airport, drop in and speak to the training schools, and they will avoid your farm, plenty of other locations to use.

The fermentation process for wrapped bales is quite gentle and a small amount of sand/dust should have little effect

The annoying plane is probably perth flight school

Oh you are a Brave man. 😊 Gate Lady is not to be messed with. 😊 There is a Flying School just north of Perth on the way to Coupar Angus. The stall and restart is part of the flight training. You could let them Know. 😊😊

Spot on Tom.. fields cut a month ago that got slurry straight away and artificial after that still light as hell. Second cut going to be light. Long winter ahead 😢

Wee bit just zero issue i expect in comparison to mud which some people will have in bales this year from very wet fields

@JohntyNich Ай бұрын

Ideally it would be mixed in but others might be able to advise if the cows would top up on straw even though the silage was available if it was put in the passage. I think with your system, restricting the silage would just lead to the weaker cows missing out. Depending on the straw/silage it might be possible to get to 50% straw before cutting it back closer to calving with a feed wagon. Something to think about in years to come.

@Bbradley-rb2pf Ай бұрын

Surely the net wrap will offer a bit of protection from the sand, not like band, it does cover the bale.

@themiddevonfarmer9952 Ай бұрын

could if your lucky get the ground turned around first after the combine and you could but some rye grass or a type of fast-growing grass to get some more silage.

I’m not sure if the steep wet hills are an issue for the heavy Simmental bulls?? Get more Angus bulls

@JohntyNich Ай бұрын

Not sure it’s the breed rather the feeding they got to get them to sale condition before they bought them that’s causing the issues. It would be good if someone stepped forward to showcase what their bulls could achieve who don’t over feed. I might be wrong but I’d love to see it.

Why didn't you get a baler/wrapper combo - it would save the double handling of the bales - or don't you have them in your corner of the world

@matthewbiffen4918 Ай бұрын

Why don’t you wrap in field

@JDB321. Ай бұрын

If anything you would have a higher ash content in the bales

Stuppit question …why did u put the bales directly onto the bare ground…rain etc , ( or dust) could seeped in ..why did nt you put maybe pallets down. Apologies if it’s stuppit I m a Glasgow townie

@CrawfordsFarm1 Ай бұрын

Well sealed, dirt wont get in, also they are 600kg each so pallets would collapse anyways

@johnbarclay7737 Ай бұрын

I only know farming from Fs22 game can someone help me understand and learn? So they are wrapping hay that makes silage? I thought it was grass you wrap? Or put in a pile then cover?

@CrawfordsFarm1 Ай бұрын

Hay doesnt need wrapped, but grass gets wrapped for silage 👍🏼

@johnbarclay7737 Ай бұрын

@@CrawfordsFarm1 ahh so that is grass you have there getting wrapped. Could I ask how much loose silage would go for per ton? And how much are bales going for you have there?

@CrawfordsFarm1 Ай бұрын

Not sure about loose but bales are £20/25 each and weigh 600kg ish
